    Bitcoin price tags $86K as analysis sees crypto in ‘new bull market’

    Cointelegraph reports that Bitcoin's price surged above $86,000 on Monday, reaching a 33-week high of $86,332, following a nearly 6% increase as US stocks also rose and oil prices declined. Analysis from The Kobeissi Letter describes a "new bull market" in crypto, citing nearly $800 million in short liquidations over 24 hours and a 50% gain for BTC/USD over two months. Some analysts, like Rekt Capital, see this as a breakout from a multi-year downtrend, with potential targets between $86,681 and $93,659. However, experts also note the importance of net buying support and expanding open interest to confirm further upward momentum.

    ECB plans to buy tokenized bonds with its own funds

    The European Central Bank (ECB) plans to allocate a small portion of its reserves to euro-denominated tokenized securities, allowing it to gain direct exposure to blockchain-based financial markets, according to CoinDesk. Purchases will be settled using Pontes, a new Eurosystem platform that connects the ECB’s payment system with tokenized finance, and which is expected to be fully implemented by 2028. The ECB's initial investments will focus on securities issued by euro-area governments, regional authorities, and European supranational institutions. The decision on the size and timing of these investments will be made after preparatory work is completed, depending on developments in tokenized securities issuance and Europe's larger tokenized finance market. Pontes aims to bring central bank money into the tokenized finance ecosystem, with plans to expand services and operating hours over time.

    Bitmine bought $75 million ether as Tom Lee says institutions are still underweight crypto

    Bitmine purchased 27,562 ETH last week for about $75.2 million, increasing its holdings to nearly 6 million ETH, which represents about 4.9% of the total supply. The company has been consistently buying ETH since June 2025, aiming to own 5% of the token’s supply, and has staked around 85% of its holdings. Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine, stated during Consensus 2026 that institutional investors remain "underweighted" in crypto and are expected to increase their exposure in the final quarter of 2026. Lee also noted that since June, ETH has significantly outperformed the S&P 500, which may encourage fund managers to boost their crypto holdings.

    Bitcoin's 44% gain in third quarter teases full-blown crypto bull run

    According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has increased by 44% in the third quarter, its strongest performance since late 2024, surpassing gains in gold and major stock indices. The rally is partly attributed to a regulatory development where the U.S. SEC granted a five-year exemption allowing trading of tokenized U.S. stocks through blockchain platforms, with Ethereum expected to benefit significantly from this change. Bitcoin recently closed above its 50-week moving average for the first time in 45 weeks, which some analysts see as a potential sign that a bear market has ended. However, experts like Alex Kuptsikevich caution investors to remain alert, noting that while a bull market may be underway, sudden pullbacks are possible.

    Crypto enjoys bullish bounce post-Fed rate hike: Crypto Week Ahead

    Crypto markets have shown resilience at the start of the week, with Bitcoin nearing $84,000 despite the hawkish sentiment from last week’s Federal Reserve rate hike, which increased the benchmark target to 4.00%. The upcoming macroeconomic events include U.S. jobless claims, housing, and durable goods figures, alongside policy considerations from the Bank of Japan and Bank of England. Additionally, the SEC has opened a five-year pilot exemption window for institutional trading of tokenized stocks on public blockchains, and governance votes are ongoing for several decentralized organizations. There are no major token launches scheduled, and some token unlocks are set for later in the week.
